Only the second results show of The X Factor 2014 and the gloves were off as 80s week resulted in another double elimination! Yes it was goodbye again to two more acts and it was time for Cheryl to ‘do a Louis’ as Stephanie Nala and Chloe Jasmine left the girls category.

All in all a bit of a bad weekend for Mrs Fernandez-Versini – what with the Kermit digs, the reggae discussion, the rows with Simon and all? Still I think we all knew she should have picked Kerrianne and Emily for her category but there we go…

Over 2million public votes were cast and it was tense in the studio as the safe acts were passed through, although I’m sure I head the audience boo when Stevi’s name was announced?

Stephanie Nala left immediately with the lowest amount polled which was a shame as I’m sure she wasn’t the worst on the night. Cheryl said she knew taking her on was a ‘gamble’ but one that she ‘would take again’.

This meant that Chloe Jasmine and Stereo Kicks had to pit themselves against each other for the judges vote. I’m not sure why the big boy band were in the bottom two – I really thought they and Overload would be very popular indeed?

Chloe completely faltered during her version of Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow, she was shaky, nervous and off-key, but the Marilyn kookiness still shone through.

Mel said based on her performance she had to send her home. Simon said she didn’t sing great but shouldn’t be blamed for the poor song choice in Saturday nights show. She’ll be missed and Cheryl felt that we hadn’t seen her best.

Stereo Kicks were slightly more enjoyable to watch singing I’ll Stand By You although I have to say the cracks in their voices were definitely exposed.

Simon felt that they were talented but that Louis wasn’t sure what to do with them – harsh! But at least we get another chance to see what they can do as they were saved by the head judge.

Oh dear Cheryl, this wasn’t the glorious comeback you were hoping for – fingers crossed Lauren and Lola keep the girls hopes alive.
